UCSB Convergence: Reverse engineering the brain

In UCSB’s College of Engineering, the phrase ‘reverse engineering the brain’ tends to relate to emerging technologies in neural networks and new machine-learning models that function more like the human brain.

Michael Beyeler and the Bionic Vision Lab are featured heavily in the Spring Edition of UCSB’s College of Engineering Convergence Magazine:

There is research to try to understand the brain—how it works on a mechanistic and algorithmic level—and then there's applying that to an engineered system that can interface with the brain. Brain-computer interfaces can be used both for treating neurological and mental disorders as well as for understanding brain function.
